<p>The biggest challenge to Brazil&rsquo;s World Cup preparations over the past few weeks has been the <a href="http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_spot/2014/06/08/s_o_paulo_strikes_brazil_faces_an_unprecedented_labor_crisis_with_the_world.html">chaos caused by striking public workers</a>. While S&atilde;o Paulo subway workers voted to at least <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-27761723">temporarily suspend their strikes</a> on Monday night, protests by activists angry at the money being spent by Brazil to host the event are expected to <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2014/06/09/brazil-world-cup-protests/9910077/">continue throughout the World Cup</a>.</p>

<p>Though nowhere near the size of <a href="http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_spot/2014/06/10/futebol_nation_how_the_brazilian_government_tried_to_stamp_out_the_country.html">last year&rsquo;s broad-based social movement</a>, which brought millions to the streets, protests have been building back up in recent months. The tournament, which begins Thursday in S&atilde;o Paulo, has reportedly cost in excess of $11 billion, money protesters say could have been spent on public infrastructure. The movement has already produced its share of <a href="http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_spot/2014/05/20/paulo_ito_world_cup_a_brazilian_street_artist_has_created_the_world_cup.html">powerful images</a>.
